AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Proto2 is built with premium materials and a mid kick that rewards a quick release, but costs nearly twice as much as the Blackout. The Blackout saves you $130, weighs just 400g, and gives you five curve options instead of two, though you're trading boron fiber tech and that explosive mid kick for a low kick and budget-grade carbon.
